In a recent interview, Sharpe shared his perspective on the viral moment, suggesting that Gomez and her team strategically utilized his celebrity status as a diversion to evade the paparazzi. According to Sharpe, it seemed like a well-planned maneuver orchestrated to shield Gomez from unwanted attention.
The Hall of Famer humorously recounted how the situation unfolded, revealing that he initially had no idea he was being roped into Gomez’s attempt to dodge the cameras. As he prepared to leave the establishment alongside former NFL player Chad Johnson, he noticed Gomez’s party following suit, leading him to suspect that something was amiss.
Sharpe admitted that while he wasn’t familiar with Gomez at the time, had he known her identity, he might have seized the opportunity for a selfie. However, despite the unexpected turn of events, Sharpe maintained his good humor, suggesting that there’s always the potential for future encounters with the pop star.
While the incident may have been a lighthearted moment for Sharpe, it sheds light on the lengths to which celebrities sometimes go to evade the relentless pursuit of the paparazzi. In the ever-watchful eyes of the media, even chance encounters can quickly turn into headline-worthy events, leaving unsuspecting bystanders like Sharpe caught in the spotlight.
